Call for Papers - 2019 Conference

This year's theme, Clinical and Applied Hypnosis: Evidence-based Practice and the Therapeutic Relationship, puts a focus, first on selecting treatment interventions well tested by rigorous research, and second, on personal mastery of the relationship variables that optimize all therapeutic interventions.

Our 2019 conference will feature keynotes, symposia, and workshops that illustrate these twin themes, as well as scientific presentations extending the scope of hypnosis in both medical and psychological practice.

Statement of Confidentiality for Attendees and Presenters

SCEH leadership has created a guiding document for attendees and presenters relative to any clinical material discussed at the meeting.   All Presenters and Attendees should review the SCEH Confidentiality Statement for Attendees and Presenters. All attendees and presenters are required to sign the statement in order to participate in the conference.  This is done when presenters complete the Call for Papers submission form and when attendees complete the online Conference Registration form.  

Webinar for Presenters Being Planned

SCEH leadership is working to create an atmosphere in which all meeting participants feel accepted, respected, and welcome. This is more challenging than one might think. Recently several attendees at SCEH events perceived that presentations included statements or content insensitive toward women or other groups. In addition, attendees have brought to our attention incidents concerning well-intentioned but unwanted touch or behaviors from other attendees.  

As a resource to help increase awareness and understanding, we will be scheduling a webinar in early summer on cultural sensitivity, personal boundaries and related issues. We will welcome all SCEH members to participate in the webinar, we especially encourage presenters scheduled for SCEH events to either attend the webinar or view a recording. Watch your email or our website for more details about this webinar.

Preparing Your Proposal for Submission

We suggest using Firefox, Chrome or Safari browsers for completing forms on our website.  Other browsers are not supported by our system.

We suggest creating and saving the content of your proposal in a simple text format, then cutting and pasting it into the form. This will save you time should you lose your Internet connection while working on your submission, or should your form submission fail for some reason.  Please note that many form submission problems can be addressed by clearing your browser's cache.

Due to formatting limitations, SCEH Forms are restricted to plain text, and therefore will not accept bold, italics, or other special formatting. Please create your proposal with this in mind.

Call for Advanced Workshops

The Advanced Workshops take place Wednesday through Friday, and are offered in full, half and quarter day formats.

We invite workshops addressing our conference theme and/or covering major themes in hypnosis. By tradition, SCEH workshops are scientifically-based and of the highest teaching quality. Please be sure to include demonstrations and practice sessions in your proposal wherever possible. Our attendees frequently ask for more hands practice opportunities and we consider experiential components an important part of our workshops.

Pre-submission inquiries can be sent to the Conference Chairs:  

• Joseph Tramontana, PhD - [email protected]

•  Joseph Green, PhD - [email protected]

Please complete our online form to submit your proposal.

Call for Scientific Presentations and Posters

The Scientific Program will run throughout the conference with keynotes on Wednesday through Friday, and symposia, panels and presentations from Friday through Sunday.

We invite researchers and clinicians to submit proposals addressing empirical issues in the science of hypnosis and related topics which address our conference theme and/or cover major themes in hypnosis and related areas which broaden our understanding of hypnosis. Aside from empirical work, we also invite the submission of abstracts of rigorously conducted case studies, case series, and critical reviews.

Presentation Formats

The Scientific Program features research presentations, symposia, panels and posters focused on empirical issues in hypnosis research and practice and related areas. The SCEH Scientific Program provides a unique venue for presenting and integrating rigorous data-based findings in an atmosphere conducive to constructive criticism and debate.

• Research Presentations shine the light on novel empirically-based findings, including experimental studies, case reports, clinical trials, meta-analyses, and systematic reviews.
• Symposia and Panels bring together top notch researchers as they critically discuss empirical findings pertaining to a specific theme of relevance to the hypnosis community. Many of these sessions integrate research and practice or draw upon research in psychology, psychiatry, or neuroscience to highlight issues that improve our understanding of hypnosis.
• Posters provide another glimpse into the latest research in the field.  See more information on posters below.
  

Pre-submission inquiries can be sent to the Scientific Program Chairs: 

• Zoltan Kekecs, PhD

• Shelagh Freedman, PhD candidate

Please complete our online form (link below) to submit your Scientific Proposal.

Poster Submissions

We invite researchers and clinicians to submit posters addressing our conference theme and/or exploring empirical issues in the science of hypnosis and related topics, including suggestibility, placebo effects, and contemplative practice. Presenting a poster at the SCEH Scientific Program is an excellent opportunity to present fully completed research studies or clinical case studies, pilot studies as well as preliminary research. The submission should clearly specify that the submission is for a poster presentation.

The SCEH meeting provides a unique venue for presenting and integrating rigorous data-based findings in an atmosphere conducive to constructive criticism and debate. Poster presentations allow authors to concisely present a case report or data that can be easily grasped in this format. Poster presentations often permit more discussion between presenters and attendees and may be especially advantageous for students, clinicians, and new investigators. Poster presenters can gain valuable feedback from leading clinicians and researchers in the hypnosis field, both in group and one on one discussions.  Poster presenters also gain experience in the poster format and a forum to expand their professional relationships.

The Poster Session takes place on Saturday evening, prior to our SCEH Annual Banquet.  Authors will be expected to stand by their poster and be prepared to answer questions about its content. Accepted poster presenters will be also invited to give a mini oral presentation (2-5 minute) about their work during a "Poster Blitz Session" on Saturday afternoon.
